To celebrate the arrival of summer, we have decided to put together a playlist for you in honor of the upcoming sunny season. The following tracks are the perfect accompaniment to an early summer day, and should help to build you up into a tropical crescendo: moving from a lazy morning to an evening by the poolside. So we’re talking about relaxation, but always with sophistication – in a navy sweater or a playsuit for the occasion.

We make a gentle start in the form of a pop ballad with neo-soul: Jamila Woods and her song “Heavn”, which aims to carry you off to a heavenly island of sound. We continue this journey in the same neo-soul vein, with the most recent protégés of renowned label Kitsuné: Parcels, a group that blends Australian sunshine with Berlin electronica.

After that, we continue with tracks that add a little spice to the playlist and provide a little energy. A quarter of an hour of tropical rhythms embellished with a touch of sax, provided by the young Jordan Rakei, followed by a pop refrain with a touch of house by Classixx and Passion Pit. And it goes without saying that we then wind things down with the evening transition. A party around the aforementioned swimming pool, accompanied by some disco pop by Hypnolove, remixed by L’Impératrice. Dive in!
